Editorial: Review and Commentary Section

Is this the era of empirically supported practice? If it is not, it is up to us to make it so. Many of us were trained in the scientist–practitioner framework of the Boulder model, now almost 60 years old, which emphasized training in both research and practice for clinical psychologists, and which seems to make the implicit assumption that the ‘‘science’ ’ training would help to make the ‘‘practice’ ’ activities more empirically-based. Almost 60 years later, we now have a greater appreciation for the difficulties of translating research into practice. As complicated as it may be to integrate science and practice into a single career, it may be even more difficult to find ways to have science infuse our clinical activities so that the knowledge base of clinical psychology guides our clinical work whenever possible
